Is a girl that lifts weights a turn of to most guys?

I've found that some guys like that I live that gym rat life, work out 4-5 days a week doing 'hardcore' lifting stuff like deadlifts and not cardio, yoga, etc. like most chicks. Usually it's guys a little older than me, outta college, that can appreciate what I do. But guys around my age, in college, find it a turn off. What's up with that? I'm not overly ripped or anything, just nicely toned.

If you just have tight muscles, I don't think most guys would dislike it. In any case, it's really healthy, so fuck what they think anyway. If it's healthy *and* you enjoy it, that's just a great thing.

But, I really dont think most guys care. It might just be the guys you've been around.

You just have to maintain your feminity. Guys like feminine women, much like females like masculine men. If it's just toned, then most guys will think that's perfect, in my opinion. But if you're building a lot of muscle, then it starts being masculine. Though, maybe some guys are intimidated, since they don't work out or aren't in as good of shape.

What Guys Said 21

No, it's not a turn-off to me at all. In fact, I'm most attracted to athletic girls who lift weights and have some muscle.

I think most guys who are put off by it are a bit insecure. It doesn't threaten me at all, though, because I'm a big guy, and I've been lifting for sports since I was 13. I'm not worried (like a lot of guys are) that some girl is gonna show me up by busting out deadlifts with 3 plates while I'm struggling with 2.

most guys? nope, no wayit will be a turn on to the lunk headed muscle bound morons.and the guys that work out all the time.to the rest of us that like women, not men, we don't want a woman with muscles. not feminine even a little. women can be toned but one of the best things about women is how soft they are.

if your upper body gets to big and your tits fade because your muscle growth and you dont have that nice round well trained ass you lad up looking like a man so then its a turn off but if your arms aren't to thick its not a problem yust like girls who look girly not half male i dont know how you look like so i can't realy give an opinion

Some will get turned on and some will get turned off. Just see how Teyana Taylor has maintained her body even after having children , why men get turned on by a sexy body like that. For me it's a turn on.

no not my thing first of, if you grow enough muscles you will not look very attractive, its good to have a tonned body, but girls who lift heavy usually become kinda muscular, full of themselves, with a big ego and have no goals in life but working out and posting pictures on facebook.

I only said hardcore because I'm not fooling around with little fixed weight barbells. And I've had people call it hardcore when they find out I do free weights. Personally I think the only thing hardcore about it are my hands, they're gnarly

and that goes back to the "women being soft". While I have had a couple gf's say they are turned on by rough hands, most men are very much not. women hands should be soft. We don't want to feel like a guy is feeling us up.
